I think boxing is on the brink of greatness.

[Taeth]

We'll see, I think MMA is equally getting better fighters. 10 years from now even Anderson SIlva won't be able to hang with those guys. THat sport has so much potential as a sport its not even funny, but boxing has its boundaries pretty much layed out, its the athletes that make it special, and these kids coming up are the finest athletes I've ever seen in the sport.

Out of these boxers you speak of I see none in the HW division. That division is the weakest it has ever been at any point of time since I have been watching boxing and there is no one in sight of changing that

....i'm not so sure, that kimbo slice bullshit sure gave boxing a run for it's money in the action dept.

I agree with pretty much everything Taeth says except I also believe (and have said this before numerous times)...Boxing hurts itself by not focusing more on the little guys....the HW division has been the flagship of boxing until about 5 or so years ago...the WW division has always been hot with the exception of small breaks in time but the smaller guys have always had a big talent pool and lots of action....

If MMA boxings supposed rival in attraction can make stars out of smaller guys then we can too...the promotrs just seem to choose not to put the effort into it

i wish boxing was on the brink of greatness but its not. im gonna put it like this if its not on sportscenter then its not gonna be seen to the public eye. but boxing fans which includes everybody that has registered to become a member at saddos are the people who really pay attention to boxing. i can ask about 10 people who is manny pacquiao and only about 2-3 can say (i know who he is). sorry but besides boxing fans everybody else forgets that the sport still exists

It's really true what you say here. When I tell my friends a big fight is coming up I have to use words like "Tyson", "Ali", "Lewis" and other heavyweight greats to explain the fight or they won't get it.

I agree to the extent your post is asserting that in order to garner excitement about the sport, boxing needs major television networks to showcase it. However, that doesn't mean that in terms of the sport, not the publicity, it isn't on the verge of greatness.
